Birders, Today (6 Aug. 2003) while Kevin Hamed and myself where on Steele Creek Park Lake in Bristol, Tennessee working on my research that I am conducting on the Eastern Spiny Softshell Turtle, we spotted a Black-crowned Night Heron in a low lying tree close to Paw Paw Branch Cove . As far as I know, this is a good record for that species in the park. The black, fat line going over the eyes gave away that it was a Black-crowned.
